COAST TO COAST AM. Anthropologist Terry Hunt discussed how the Easter Island statues were created and moved. "What we see is that we might have had some pretty skilled engineers," he said, regarding the creators of the infamously mysterious monuments. To that end, Hunt revealed that the statues appeared to be "designed for movement in a vertical position." He cited his own experiment where 18 people were used to make an Easter Island statue replica, which stood 10 feet high and weighed 5 tons, 'walk' via a series of rocking movements using ropes. The process proved to be so easy that the group 'walked' the statue over 100 yards in 40 minutes, including a trip uphill.

Celebrating decades of groundbreaking exploration in East Africa, renowned paleoanthropologists Donald Johanson and Richard Leakey shared the stage at the American Museum of Natural History on May 5 to discuss the overwhelming evidence for evolution in the hominid fossil record and why understanding our evolutionary history is so important. The discussion, before a sold-out crowd in the Museum's LeFrak Theater, was moderated by Dr. Sanjay Gupta, chief medical correspondent for CNN. The event was also live-streamed on amnh.org to a digital audience of several hundred viewers around the country.
Known for such landmark discoveries as "Lucy" (Johanson) and "Turkana Boy" (Leakey), the work of these two scientists has produced much of the fossil evidence that forms our understanding of human evolution.
Looking back over careers spanning 40-plus years, Dr. Johanson and Dr. Leakey shared the stories behind their monumental finds and offered a look at what's ahead in human evolutionary research.
This historic event was made possible through a joint partnership of the American Museum of Natural History, the Arizona State UniversityInstitute of Human Origins, and the Turkana BasinInstitute, headquartered in the U.S. at Stony Brook University.

Wade Davis, author of The Wayfinders: Why AncientWisdomMatters in the Modern World, criticizes the United States for viewing technological prowess as the only sign of progress. "Climate change should finally teach us that we're not the paragon of humanity's potential," he says.
-----
What does it mean to be human and alive?
The thousands of different cultures and languages on Earth have compellingly different answers to that question. "We are a wildly imaginative and creative species," declares Wade Davis, and then proves it with his accounts and photographs of humanity plumbing the soul of culture, of psyche, and of landscape.
The threat to cultures is often ideological, Davis notes, such as when Mao whispered in the ear of the Dalai Lama that "all religion is poison," set about destroying Tibetan culture.
The genius of culture is the ability to survive in impossible conditions, Davis concludes. We cannot afford to lose any of that variety of skills, because we are not only impoverished without it, we are vulnerable without it. - The Long Now Foundation
Edmund Wade Davis (born December 14, 1953) is a noted Canadian anthropologist, ethnobotanist, author and photographer whose work has focused on worldwide indigenous cultures, especially in North and South America and particularly involving the traditional uses and beliefs associated with psychoactive plants. Davis came to prominence with his 1985 best-selling book The Serpent and the Rainbow about the zombies of Haiti.
Davis has published popular articles in Outside, National Geographic, Fortune and Conde Nast Traveler.

Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov (/ˈaɪzᵻkˈæzᵻmɒv/; born Isaak Yudovich Ozimov; circa January 2, 1920 – April 6, 1992) was an American author and professor of biochemistry at Boston University, best known for his works of science fiction and for his popular science books. Asimov was prolific and wrote or edited more than 500 books and an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards. His books have been published in 9 of the 10 major categories of the Dewey Decimal Classification.

Davis is an Explorer-in-Residence at the National Geographic Society. Named by the NGS as one of the Explorers for the Millennium, he has been described as “a rare combination of scientist, scholar, poet and passionate defender of all of life’s diversity.” In recent years his work has taken him to East Africa, Borneo, Nepal, Peru, Polynesia, Tibet, Mali, Benin, Togo, New Guinea, Australia, Colombia, Vanuatu, Mongolia, and the high Arctic of Nunuvut and Greenland.

In 2012, Davis came out publicly speaking about what it was like to be closeted and gay in the NFL.

Davis is currently executive director for the You Can Play Project, an advocacy organization working to eradicate homophobia in professional sports. Wade develops curriculum, programming, training and conversations focused on inclusion and diversity. He formerly worked at the Hetrick-Martin Institute in New York City, New York, as the Assistant Director of Job Readiness, where he helped at-promise LGBT youth learn life skills.

Renaissance cabinets of curiosities were private collections that typically included exotic specimens of natural history, sometimes faked, along with other types of object. The first natural history museum was possibly that of Swiss scholar Conrad Gessner, established in Zurich in the mid 16th century. The Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, established in Paris in 1635, was the first natural history museum to take the form that would be recognized as a natural history museum today. Early natural history museums offered limited accessibility, as they were generally private collections or holdings of scientific societies. The Ashmolean Museum, opened in 1683, was the first natural history museum to grant admission to the general public.

Museum of Natural History, Belgrade

The Museum of Natural History (Serbian: Природњачки музеј / Prirodnjački muzej) is a museum in Belgrade, Serbia. Founded on 19 December 1895, it one of the oldest specialised scientific institutions set up in Serbia.

It has about 900,000 items and the following collections: minerals, rocks, hunting trophies, palaeontological, zoological and botanical collections. It publishes its own bulletin, the "Glasnik". The museum also contains a library, founded in 1903, with over 20,000 books and other materials.

The museum's gallery is in Mali Kalemegdan, a division of the Kalemegdan neighbourhood of Belgrade, bordering Belgrade's urban section, while the museum itself is on Njegoševa.

History

The Museum of Natural History was founded on 19 December 1895 as the Jestastvenički muzej and opened in 1904. The museum was founded under the decision of Ljubomira Kovačević, the Minister of Education and Church Divisions at the time, with the help of an initiative of the Serbian Association of Professors.

The museum's earliest collections of artifacts were begun over 250 years ago. Today, its collections on display cover 8,700 square metres (94,000sqft).

As of 2011, the museum houses approximately 30 million objects and the number is growing. Behind the scenes, collections comprising some 25 million specimens and artefacts are the essential basis for the work of over 60 staff scientists. Their main fields of research cover a wide range of topics from the origins of the Solar System and the evolution of animals and plants to human evolution, as well as prehistoric traditions and customs.

Building

The main building of the Museum is an elaborate palace that has accommodated these constantly growing collections, since opening to the public in 1889 as the Imperial Natural History Museum. However, some of the collections had been moved from even older buildings, such as the Hofbibliothek which contained the Zoology Cabinet (German: Tierkabinett) collections.

A Ph.D. case study on Flat Earth Anthropology

This is a re-edit of a video done by Rodrigo Ferrari-Nunes, Ph.D.. It involves a case study into understanding the flat Earth movement from an anthropological perspective. In the original version, I felt like Rodrigo sort of jumped around in a much more non-linear fashion than I typically prefer. So, I shortened it a bit and re-arranged a number of sections to make it play as a more linear production.

What Would Alien Anthropologists Think of Us? - Wade Davis

Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2010/01/13/Wade_Davis_Why_Ancient_Wisdom_Matters_in_the_Modern_World
Wade Davis, author of The Wayfinders: Why AncientWisdomMatters in the Modern World, criticizes the United States for viewing technological prowess as the only sign of progress. "Climate change should finally teach us that we're not the paragon of humanity's potential," he says.
-----
What does it mean to be human and alive?
The thousands of different cultures and languages on Earth have compellingly different answers to that question. "We are a wildly imaginative and creative species," declares Wade Davis, and then proves it with his accounts and photographs of humanity plumbing the soul of culture, of psyche, and of landscape.
The threat to cultures is often ideological,...

Friends - Ross and Phoebe argue about Evolution

Season 2, episode 3 - The One Where Heckles DiesRoss the palaeontologist, and Phoebe the new-age free spirit, argue the truth of Evolution.
Real scientists will balk at both Ross's strident approach to explaining science to a lay-person and Phoebe's dualist irrationale. Both are very funny characters, though, and it's a good little example of where these sorts of conversations can go off the rails.
(Evolution is true, though).

Wade Davis: The worldwide web of belief and ritual

http://www.ted.com Anthropologist Wade Davis muses on the worldwide web of belief and ritual that makes us human. He shares breathtaking photos and stories of the Elder Brothers, a group of Sierra Nevada indians whose spiritual practice holds the world in balance.

COAST TO COAST AM. Anthropologist Terry Hunt discussed how the Easter Island statues were created and moved. "What we see is that we might have had some pretty skilled engineers," he said, regarding the creators of the infamously mysterious monuments. To that end, Hunt revealed that the statues appeared to be "designed for movement in a vertical position." He cited his own experiment where 18 people were used to make an Easter Island statue replica, which stood 10 feet high and weighed 5 tons, 'walk' via a series of rocking movements using ropes. The process proved to be so easy that the group 'walked' the statue over 100 yards in 40 minutes, including a trip uphill.
Featured guests also include: Aaron Judkins, Michael McDaniel

Celebrating decades of groundbreaking exploration in East Africa, renowned paleoanthropologists Donald Johanson and Richard Leakey shared the stage at the American Museum of Natural History on May 5 to discuss the overwhelming evidence for evolution in the hominid fossil record and why understanding our evolutionary history is so important. The discussion, before a sold-out crowd in the Museum's LeFrak Theater, was moderated by Dr. Sanjay Gupta, chief medical correspondent for CNN. The event was also live-streamed on amnh.org to a digital audience of several hundred viewers around the country.
Known for such landmark discoveries as "Lucy" (Johanson) and "Turkana Boy" (Leakey), the work of these two scientists has produced much of the fossil evidence that forms our understanding of human evolution.
Looking back over careers spanning 40-plus years, Dr. Johanson and Dr. Leakey shared the stories behind their monumental finds and offered a look at what's ahead in human evolutionary research.
This historic event was made possible through a joint partnership of the American Museum of Natural History, the Arizona State UniversityInstitute of Human Origins, and the Turkana BasinInstitute, headquartered in the U.S. at Stony Brook University.
This video is a recording of the live stream, which ran at http://www.amnh.org/live
Produced and directed by James Sims. Shot by Jill Bauerle and Manuel Benitez for AMNH.org.

Wade Davis, author of The Wayfinders: Why AncientWisdomMatters in the Modern World, criticizes the United States for viewing technological prowess as the only sign of progress. "Climate change should finally teach us that we're not the paragon of humanity's potential," he says.
-----
What does it mean to be human and alive?
The thousands of different cultures and languages on Earth have compellingly different answers to that question. "We are a wildly imaginative and creative species," declares Wade Davis, and then proves it with his accounts and photographs of humanity plumbing the soul of culture, of psyche, and of landscape.
The threat to cultures is often ideological, Davis notes, such as when Mao whispered in the ear of the Dalai Lama that "all religion is poison," set about destroying Tibetan culture.
The genius of culture is the ability to survive in impossible conditions, Davis concludes. We cannot afford to lose any of that variety of skills, because we are not only impoverished without it, we are vulnerable without it. - The Long Now Foundation
Edmund Wade Davis (born December 14, 1953) is a noted Canadian anthropologist, ethnobotanist, author and photographer whose work has focused on worldwide indigenous cultures, especially in North and South America and particularly involving the traditional uses and beliefs associated with psychoactive plants. Davis came to prominence with his 1985 best-selling book The Serpent and the Rainbow about the zombies of Haiti.
Davis has published popular articles in Outside, National Geographic, Fortune and Conde Nast Traveler.

Neanderthals existed for 350.000 years. They managed to survive the ice age, dangerous beasts as well as many other numerous dangers of that time. However they couldn't survive the encounter with modern men. Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons met for the first time 35.000 years ago and only 5.000 years later Neanderthals have completely disappeared from existence... All of the homosapians.

What Would Alien Anthropologists Think of Us? - Wade Davis

Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2010/01/13/Wade_Davis_Why_Ancient_Wisdom_Matters_in_the_Modern_World
Wade Davis, author of The Wayfinders: Why AncientWisdomMatters in the Modern World, criticizes the United States for viewing technological prowess as the only sign of progress. "Climate change should finally teach us that we're not the paragon of humanity's potential," he says.
-----
What does it mean to be human and alive?
The thousands of different cultures and languages on Earth have compellingly different answers to that question. "We are a wildly imaginative and creative species," declares Wade Davis, and then proves it with his accounts and photographs of humanity plumbing the soul of culture, of psyche, and of landscape.
The threat to cultures is often ideological, Davis notes, such as when Mao whispered in the ear of the Dalai Lama that "all religion is poison," set about destroying Tibetan culture.
The genius of culture is the ability to survive in impossible conditions, Davis concludes. We cannot afford to lose any of that variety of skills, because we are not only impoverished without it, we are vulnerable without it. - The Long Now Foundation
Edmund Wade Davis (born December 14, 1953) is a noted Canadian anthropologist, ethnobotanist, author and photographer whose work has focused on worldwide indigenous cultures, especially in North and South America and particularly involving the traditional uses and beliefs associated with psychoactive plants. Davis came to prominence with his 1985 best-selling book The Serpent and the Rainbow about the zombies of Haiti.
Davis has published popular articles in Outside, National Geographic, Fortune and Conde Nast Traveler.

Friends - Ross and Phoebe argue about Evolution

Season 2, episode 3 - The One Where Heckles DiesRoss the palaeontologist, and Phoebe the new-age free spirit, argue the truth of Evolution.
Real scientists will balk at both Ross's strident approach to explaining science to a lay-person and Phoebe's dualist irrationale. Both are very funny characters, though, and it's a good little example of where these sorts of conversations can go off the rails.
(Evolution is true, though).
